Hi
Welcome to health care magic.
The exposure to dog bite you are having is grade 1 bite.
You should get proper immunization against rabies and also tetanus as well.
Tetanus is a universal recommendation if you did not have active immunozation for the same in the preceding 5 years.
If the dog was not immunized as you have mentioned then you should get immunised for rabies as well.
I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
